Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods,. A
robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological …

Flowering plants (angiosperms) are the most diverse of all land plants, becoming abundant
in the Cretaceous and achieving dominance in the Cenozoic. However, the exact timing of …

The timing of the origin of angiosperms is a hotly debated topic in plant evolution. Molecular
dating analyses that consistently retrieve pre‐Cretaceous ages for crown‐group …

Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most diverse of all major lineages of land plants and
the dominant autotrophs in most terrestrial ecosystems. Their evolutionary and ecological …

Angiosperms represent one of the most spectacular terrestrial radiations on the planet, but
their early diversification and phylogenetic relationships remain uncertain,,–. A key reason …

Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most diverse and species-rich group of plants. The
vast majority (∼ 99.95%) of angiosperms form a clade called Mesangiospermae, which is …

Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial
ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only …

Angiosperms have dominated the Earth's vegetation since the mid-Cretaceous (90 million
years ago), providing much of our food, fibre, medicine and timber, yet their origin and early …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …
